The leader of Assyrian Democratic Organization (ADO) Mr. Gabriel Moushe strongly denounces the decisions of Kurdish PYD self rule to close the office of ADO in Hassakeh on Wednesday Mars 15. He considers these acts as a sign of desperate search for legitimacy from, above all, the Kurdish population of Gozarto. Besides the ADO office several offices of Kurdish parties that do not recognize the authority of PYD were vandalized and set on fire.

The Kurdish Asayish sealed the entrance of ADO office in Hassakeh, atravhingsten a paper where it states that all political parties are obliged to get permission from the Kurdish authority. Same paper is put on the door of the office of ADO in Qameshly, but no seal is done – yet.

Mr. Moushe says he expects solidarity from the Dawronoye leadership against the PYD decision, although Dawronoye is affiliated to the PYD self rule. This because ADO and Dawronoye agreed on a joint statement to work for same goals in future Syria.
